In 2009, a Bradley Beal-led squad averaged 113 points per game while going 5-0 en route to the gold in Argentina.

In 2011, it was Aaron Gordon and Jabari Parker helping the USA crush opponents by an average 42.2 points per game during another gold run in Mexico.

Most of the players heading to Colorado Springs in late May also participated in another mini-camp last October. Head coach Don Showalter will further his evaluation in the coming weeks on the summer circuit.

"As training camp gets closer, it's really exciting because I'm going to go watch some of the kids play in their spring AAU tournaments," Showalter said. "That's always nice to see how they play with their teammates there. I'll do some evaluation, not only of their skill levels, but their attitudes and what kind of teammates they are, how they will fit into our team."

"I think that just with the initial look at them, they seem to be a very talented group," said Showalter, who is also the head coach at Iowa City High School. "I think our bigs are especially talented."
